5 Responses to Layton holding additional public meetings on UTOPIA and Macquarie

It was surprisingly positive, both meetings, in fact. Plenty of ovations where given to both pro and anti utopia comments. And shockingly support for Utopia came from the elderly population as well, incumbent services to many of the retirement communities is very poor in Layton as it turns out, CenturyLink may be violating universal service requirements in some places.

Everyone hates Century Link, even those against Utopia at the meeting universally considered Century Link to be a sad joke.

No one liked the utility fee, But I think for most(not all) concerns were relieved by the basic (3/3, 20gig “soft” cap) internet and included phone service. Following West Valley on the phone service I think has really made a big difference for support of this thing.

Anyone who carries a larger package of services or runs a small business sees the benefits right away, the rates charged by the incumbents are absurd, if you can even get service. There are still area’s of Layton stuck on dialup.

This is great information. This is what happens when details are explained. The deal is actually really good, and it will really solidify Utah as a place to go if you are a heavily digital business (and even if you aren’t).

Is it just me, or does everyone have to slide the, “post comment” lock?

Layton really wants it to work. That’s evidenced by their work on a general opt-out provision. The real question is if enough people don’t take that option and do take premium services to keep that feasible.
